With the Fake Peace Orb's enhancement, the Jade Chamber, under Ningguang's command, plunged downward at terrifying speed— charging straight into Demon God Osial's massive blue energy beam.
BOOM!
Another thunderous explosion echoed across the heavens.
This time, however, there was no blinding flash of light, nor towering pillars of flame.
Instead—
A violent surge of air erupted outward.
For a moment, fierce gales swept across the seas surrounding Guyun Stone Forest, the ocean surface churning violently.
At this moment, the blue beam was still locked in a stalemate with the Jade Chamber.
But with its reinforced defenses, the Jade Chamber showed no fear at all!
Meanwhile, Osial's overall presence had weakened, and this attack had been launched in haste.
The energy it had gathered was far inferior to its previous strike.
With one rising and the other falling—
The blue beam was ultimately crushed by the Jade Chamber.
"N-no… this is imposs—possible?!"
Osial's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Its proudest attack had actually been destroyed by nothing more than a floating pavilion?!
But when it saw the enormous Jade Chamber looming above and continuing its descent—
Panic finally seized it.
The overwhelming pressure made Osial completely lose its composure.
It tried to dive back into the sea and flee.
But—
It was already too late.
BOOM!
Accompanied by an earth-shaking roar, the Jade Chamber slammed violently onto Osial's head.
Instantly, the sea erupted in chaos, towering tsunamis surging in every direction.
And it wasn't over yet.
Seeing that Osial still seemed capable of resisting, Ningguang issued another command without hesitation.
"Jade Chamber—hit it again!"
Receiving her order, the Jade Chamber slowly rose back into the sky—
Then dove straight down once more.
"Don't come over here!
DON'T COME OVER HERE—!"
Osial, barely regaining consciousness, froze when it saw this.
It was completely dumbfounded.
Why is it coming again?!
Wasn't the fight supposed to be one bomb and done?!
Young lady—this is dishonorable combat!
Unfortunately for Osial, its complaints were utterly ignored.
BOOM!
Another colossal impact.
Osial was smashed hard for the second time.
After taking two consecutive direct hits, the Demon God was nearly knocked unconscious.
Worse still—
The Fake Peace Orb atop its head began to dim.
The energy supply it provided rapidly dwindled.
"That should do it, right?"
Seeing Osial barely able to resist, Ningguang nodded in satisfaction.
The power of the Jade Chamber was truly remarkable!
And honestly—
Using something this big to smash an enemy…
It felt incredibly satisfying.
Ningguang suddenly felt she'd found a new direction for future Jade Chamber upgrades.
"Th-this…"
Watching Ningguang's excited expression, then looking at the utterly helpless Osial in the sea—
Everyone exchanged glances.
Strangely enough, they almost felt a little sorry for it.
It was just too miserable.
A structure as massive as the Jade Chamber being slammed down on it—
Enhanced by a Fake Peace Orb, no less.
And not once.
Twice.
Just watching made them flinch in sympathy.
Sure enough—
Women really were not to be provoked.
"I'll need to be more careful in the future…"
Even Cloud Retainer felt lingering fear.
If a conflict had broken out back then and Ningguang decided to smash her with the Jade Chamber—
With her current tiny body, she'd probably be gone in one hit.
Jean, who hadn't hung up the video call, witnessed the entire scene as well.
Her eyes were filled with shock.
She never imagined the Jade Chamber could possess such destructive power.
It was practically on par with Klee!
Looking at Keqing on the other side of the screen, Jean joked:
"Lady Keqing, Mondstadt hereby declares— as long as Liyue does not deploy the Jade Chamber first, we absolutely will not deploy Klee."
Keqing's mouth twitched.
She never expected that her joking remark back then—
'If the defense is boosted, wouldn't smashing something this big feel amazing?'—
Would actually come true.
And not just true—
It was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
This really broadened her horizons.
"Wow! Big sister is amazing!"
Unlike the others' shock and fear,
Klee was practically bouncing with excitement.
So it wasn't just bombs—
You could fight like this too?!
She felt she'd learned a lot today.
"Hehe, now my hands are itching— I'll throw another Super Bouncy Bomb!"
As she spoke, she used her card again, conjuring another massive bomb—
And hurled it downward with all her might.
Everyone: "..."
Please.
We're begging you.
Act like a human being.
Sure enough— not only was Ningguang someone you absolutely couldn't provoke…
This little girl was even worse.
At this moment, Osial finally recovered a sliver of consciousness.
Its awareness slowly returned to its body.
But the instant it assessed its condition—
Its expression turned grim.
Its physical state was terrible.
Its power had plummeted drastically.
Launching another attack like before was nearly impossible.
Even worse—
The Fake Peace Orb was now providing less and less energy.
Realizing this, true fear finally set in.
Everything it had relied on came from that object.
Without it, it had no capital left to be arrogant.
"I never imagined that thing would be so powerful…"
Terror flickered in Osial's eyes.
Just two hits had reduced it to this state.
Then—
It noticed something black falling from the sky.
And it looked… familiar.
"…Oh shit.
It's that thing again."
Recognizing the terrifying bomb from before, Osial completely froze.
No—
This is bullying!
First a bomb.
Then smashed twice.
And now another one?!
As it snapped back to reality, panic overwhelmed it.
Before, it still had the Fake Peace Orb restoring its strength.
But now?
The orb was failing.
Its body was heavily injured.
If it took another hit like that—It would be finished.
No.
Absolutely not.
It had to leave.
Immediately.
If it stayed any longer, it might die here without ever even seeing Morax.
That would be the greatest joke in history.
"Trying to run?"
Seeing Osial's movement, Ningguang's eyes turned cold.
Why didn't you think of that earlier?
"Jade Chamber—hit it again!"
With a sweeping gesture, the Jade Chamber plunged downward once more—
Making its third intimate contact with Osial.
Completely cutting off its escape.
And at that very moment—
The black bomb arrived.
BOOM!
A massive firework bloomed once again.
The familiar mushroom cloud rose yet again over Guyun Stone Forest.
